New Humble Pie, Tom Petty & More

February 18, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I have just added 8 new songs into high rotation in the playlist. Four of the songs are from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Humble Pie – Joint Effort … This album was recorded in 1974-1975, but was not released until this year. Peter Frampton had been replaced by Clem Clemson, but Steve Marriott‘s voice was still the focal point for the band. Listen for an interesting cover of the James Brown song Think. Read the review here.

Focus – Focus 11 … This band’s latest album is an all-instrumental romp except for one song, which happens to be the track I have added into the playlist. Listen for How Many Miles. Read the review here.

Tedeschi Trucks Band – Signs … Led by the married couple Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, this 12 piece band covers a lot of ground on this album, including blues, soul, r&B and Americana. Although not a traditional classic rock band, the music fits seamlessly into the genre. Listen for the tracks Hard Case and Signs, High Times. Read the review here.

New Singles

The other 4 songs that I have added into high rotation are from forthcoming albums. Listen for the following songs:

Tom Petty – For Real … This song is from the departed singer/songwriter’s upcoming 2 disc retrospective called The Best Of Everything – which is due for release on March 1st, 2019.

Sammy Hagar & The Circle – Trust Fund Baby … The former Van Halen singer’s new song with the band The Circle comes from the album Space Between, which is scheduled for release on May 10th, 2019.

New Santana, Heart and Hackett

February 4, 2019 • New Classic Rock Releases • No Comments

I have just added 7 new songs into high rotation from the following newly released classic rock albums:

Santana – In Search Of Mona Lisa … This 3 song EP was inspired by Carlos Santana‘s near-mystical viewing of the Mona Lisa while visiting The Louvre in Paris, France. The enigmatic lady apparently “spoke” to him – and three months later he dreamed the lyrics for two of these songs. Listen for the tracks Do You Remember Me, In Search Of Mona Lisa and Lovers From Another Time. Read the review here.

Heart – Live In Atlantic City … The bands 2006 VH-1 concert in Atlantic City’s Decades Rock arena has finally been released. It features a host of guest artists helping the Wilson sisters and band (including Dave Navarro of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Alice In Chains, Rufus Wainwright and Carrie Underwood). Listen for a live version of Magic Man and a scorching cover of the Led Zeppelin song Misty Mountain Hop. Read the review here.

Steve Hackett – At The Edge Of Light … This is new album from the ex-Genesis guitar player showcases his extraordinary talent and song writing ability. The album took 18 months to put together and features interesting songs and great progressive rock musicians. Listen for the tracks Those Golden Wings and Under The Eye Of the Sun.
